Palacio Episcopal, Episcopal residence in Plaza de la Catedral, Salamanca, Spain.
This nineteenth-century episcopal building features a U-shaped main facade decorated with pilasters and curved and triangular pediments at its front entrance.
The palace, designed by architect José Secall y Asión in 1886, replaced an earlier episcopal residence that was demolished due to structural deterioration.
The building houses the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, with the ground floor dedicated to Fernando Gallego and the first floor displaying religious exhibits.
The basement section of the palace contains workshop spaces and temporary exhibition areas, while also maintaining the Diocesan Archives of Salamanca.
During the Spanish Civil War, the Episcopal Palace served as General Franco's headquarters after Bishop Plá y Deniel provided the building for military use.
